Pioglar G is a combination of two powerful antidiabetes medicines (pioglitazone and glimepiride) which offer effective long term treatment for high blood sugar.
Pioglar G helps your body to make and use insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Order Pioglar G online for a powerful and reliable diabetes treatment that keeps your blood sugar levels under control.
Pioglar G is an antidiabetic drug that can be used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to reduce blood sugar levels in those with Type 2 diabetes. It’s often prescribed when taking one treatment alone hasn’t been effective enough in bringing down your blood sugar levels to the normal range, or if you’re at a higher risk of complications.
Pioglar G is a combined treatment, which means that it contains two active ingredients that work together to reduce blood sugar levels. The active ingredients in Pioglar G are pioglitazone and glimepiride.
High blood sugar has short term effects such as blurred vision and stomach ache as well as more serious effects such as increased risk of heart attack and stroke. When taking Pioglar G you will need to closely record and monitor your blood sugar levels so that your doctor can suggest refinements to your treatment.
Pioglar G is a branded medicine and can also be purchased as Triofid, Piobeta, Glimtaz, Pionorm G, Normaglim P and Pioriv G.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body struggles to use the insulin that your body makes. Insulin helps carry sugar to the cells and organs of your body where it’s used in a range of bodily functions. Excess sugar is stored in the body as fat. For those with Type 2 diabetes, insulin has become ineffective at carrying the sugars out of the blood stream and so it remains there and causes high blood sugar.
Pioglar G contains pioglitazone. This works to encourage your body to make better use of the insulin you produce. It makes the body more sensitive to insulin and this results in the insulin carrying more sugar away from the blood and therefore lowering your blood sugar level.
This medicine also contains glimepiride. This works to increase the amount of insulin produced in the body, giving the pioglitazone more insulin to act upon and therefore increasing the body’s ability to clear sugar from the bloodstream.
When using Pioglar G it’s important to maintain a healthy diet low in carbs and to engage in regular exercise. You’ll also need to monitor your blood sugar levels closely so that you can see how well the treatment is working and also inform your doctor about any changes that need to be made.
Pioglar G is available in a single dosage size with the following amounts of each active ingredient:
Pioglitazone (15mg) and Glimepiride (2mg)
Pioglar G doesn’t work for everyone, and if it doesn’t suit you or produce the results that you need it to, your doctor will be able to suggest some alternative treatment options. These may take the form of another combined medication or individual ones.

Pioglar G can start to lower blood sugar levels within an hour of taking it. In the long term, it can take 2-3 months for it to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
The time Pioglar takes to be effective depends on a number of factors. Firstly, the starting point of your blood sugar levels can have an impact on how long it takes for Pioglar G to work. The higher the starting level, the longer it may take for blood sugar levels to reduce. Secondly, Pioglar G is most effective when combined with a healthy low carb diet and regular exercise.
When taking Pioglar G, it’s important to regularly monitor blood sugar levels so that you and your doctor can see how well the treatment is working for you.
If you forget to take Pioglar G you should take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, you can skip the missed dose and continue to take your treatment as you normally do. Never take a double dose of Pioglar G.
If you take too much Pioglar G you should seek medical help immediately.
